Clutch or ignition switch ?

About once or twice a month I'll come to start the engine.
I press the clutch down and turn the ignition key and nothing - battery is good.

I try again and all is well.

I'm thinking I have an issue with either the clutch pedal switch or the ignition switch.

Anyone care to comment as to what is the most likely source of the problem ?

I'm thinking I may need to adjust the clutch switch actuator....

Take a piece of wire with 2 male connectors on each end and bypass the clutch switch. Find the clutch switch, pull off the wires and stick them together. If your problem goes away than theres your answer. I had the same issue and just bypassed it for good.
